Comment:
PA has nothing to do with Vorbis playback. Or are you saying they use lc
without Vorbis support? That would be weird.
OSS4 is not really supported by PA. OSS is obsolete. Nonetheless we have
an OSS module in PA. But that supports only the well-known cross-platform
OSS3 API. While the OSS4 folks claim OSS4 is compatible it actually is
not. In certain ways it introduces new behaviour that is not documented
and breaks PA. See #247. That said it is probably easy to fix PA for OSS4.
It's just that noone has shown interest in actually doing this. Patches
welcome.
libcanberra supports multiple backends, depending on how you configure it
at compile time and runtime. If you are building it yourself then you
probably haven't enabled all necessary backends correctly.
If PA freezes for you, please provide a backtrace as documented here:

This bug reports mixes up a lot of different issues. Please create
seperate bug reports for different issues. Also, please report libcanberra
bugs to http://bugs.freedesktop.org.
I am now closing this bug since the main issue apparently is the OSS4
incompatible which we already have a bug about (#247).
